Chapter 97 Sorry, I Can''t Drink
Four years. They had been engaged for four years! Harry dyed the wedding again and again no
matter how their families urged him.
At that moment, Ynda realized Harry had never forgotten that woman.
She clenched her fists. "Then let that woman disappear for good." she sneered.
L was called over to the conference room for an emergency management meeting the second after
she arrived at thepany by the deputy CEO Theron Xing.
Seeing all executives were present, Theron Xing went straight to the point, "The CEO of SL Group, our
big Boss, Harry Si ising to take over thepany as CEO. Please get yourself ready.
He looked round the whole meeting room and added, "I have seen Boss Si twice. He is demanding and
hard to get along with. His cold eyes and poker face can freeze you even miles away. So you''d better
be on the ball after his arrival!" Seeing all people disying a terrified look after hearing his words, he
smirked.
"When will him take office?" A manager raised a question which all the others concerned. They were all
wondering how many peaceful days left.
"Very soon. Boss Si is handing over his work in D City. ording to his high work efficiency, I think he
will arrive here within three days!" Speaking of that, he was thinking was there anything he didn''t do
well in. If so, he needed to make up for it as soon as possible.
"Miss Li!" Theron called L who kept silent throughout and looked distracted. "Yes, Mr. Xing."
"Prepare a banquet to wee our CEO. All people here will attend. Get moving." Theron ordered.
Theron''s unprecedented cautious attitude made everyone panic in the following days.
After the meeting, L came back to her office and sat down. "Take office within three days? How
come our calm boss became so eager? Now that Harry Si ising with Ynda Mo, I will face them!"
She sneered.
In order to make herself stronger, she had been working hard since she joined in SL Group three years
ago. Luckily, the former Acting President thought highly of herpetency and promoted her to
General Manager.
The show was going to be on soon. Who''s gonna be the winner and who''s gonna be the loser? It''s as
in as the nose on the face...
In No. 888 Room of Westin Hotel.
L was wearing a white dress, a red wind coat and a pair of new-fashioned wedge heels which quite
matched her clothes.
With the color reviver balm, her light make-up looked exquisite. L sat down at the seat which was
farthest from the seat for the guest of honor.
Eight department managers, two deputy managers, one general manager and one deputy CEO were
all present, waiting for their CEO.
At seven o''clock pm.
The door was opened from outside on time. The man who was stepping in exuded a strong sense of
domineering. All people were on tenterhooks. They stood up at once to show their respect to the man.
"Boss Si, wee!" Theron scooted to the man who kept a porker face and walked him to the seat.
After greeting, Theron started introducing the others to Harry. L was sitting still and listening.
When it came to L, Theron said, "Boss Si, this is our General Manager, L Li. Although she just
joined in ourpany three years ago, she had been promoted to General Manager because of her
outstandingpetency."
"Three years... Miss Li is excellent indeed." Hearing that low and masculine voice again after years,
L lifted her lips slightly.
Other male managers nursed a little grievance. "Why Boss Si just nodded indifferently when ites to
them, but praised L? Young and beautifuldies are in high favor for sure!" they thought.
How they wish they could be young and beautiful!
Other female managers who were in their thirties and forties all blushed. Boss Si was so charming that
their heart started beating faster the moment they saw him.
"Thank you, Boss Si. It''s my honor to work for SL Group." L replied simply without even looking at
Harry.
Noticing the atmosphere turned a little embarrassing, Theron introduced another manager immediately.
After that, all of them came to toast Harry one after another.
L looked much more indifferent against the enthusiastic others. She didn''t join their toast, but ate
and sipped juice sometimes while sitting there.
Theron poured some Baijiu for L and asked her to toast Harry.
L put her chopsticks down and looked at Theron, "Sorry, I can''t drink these days."
L was supposed to say that to Boss Si. But she was looking at Theron, who was embarrassed by
her words. "What is wrong with L Li? She is good at socializing and able to get along well with all
colleagues inpany. Why she is so weird today?" Theron wondered.
Theron didn''t insist on that. He turned to another manager and asked him to toast Harry.
The banquet could be regarded as a sess cause everyone fully took part in and enjoyed it, except
L of course.
Theron dragged L to walk Harry out together after the banquet. There was a little flush on Harry''s
cheeks. He drank a little bit too much that night.
It was gettingte when they came out. Joey was standing beside the Maybach, waiting for Harry.
Seeing long-lost L, Joy nodded at her.
Theron was confused. "CEO''s assistant seems to know L. Does CEO already know L before
too?" he thought.

Then Joey opened the door for Harry.
"Mr. Xing, I forgot my phone in the hotel. Could you please fetch it for me?" Harry turned to them
suddenly.
"Sure. Please wait a minute."
Theron trotted back to the hotel at once. L was not willing to stay alone with Harry, at least at that
time. She was nning to follow Theron, When Harry called her, "Miss Li, how about getting in for a
chat?" Harry was leaning against the door of the Maybach and squinting at Ynda who looked more
mature than she was four years ago.
"No. Boss Si, you''d better have a good rest!" L refused without turning back to him.
Hearing that, Harry just smiled without saying anything further. Since he had been in A Country now, he
had a lot of time.
Then they saw Theron running out of the hotel hall with Harry''s mobile phone in his hand. The mobile
phone was ringing.
"Boss Si, someone called Ynda keeps calling you!" Harry threw a clod nce at him. Theron
realized he shouldn''t have watched Boss''s privacy.
Hearing what Theron just said, L went straight to her BMW parked nearby and left despite that the
big Boss was still standing there.
Theron was more confused with a little anger. "What the hell is wrong with L Li today? She has been
so impolite to the big Boss." He thought.
Harry hung up the phone indifferently. Then he got in the Maybach after L''s car ran out of his sight.
"Goodbye, Boss Si. Have a good rest!" Theron waved at Harry.
After seeing big Boss off, Theron went back to the private room cause other managers were still there.
They were devouring food. They didn''t dare to eat with abandon in front of the big Boss. Now, since the
Boss had left, they finally could fill their belly.
